3 December 2019: Business, Inequality and Development
 |
On occasion of the launch of the new Handbook on Global Value Chains, co-editor and CBDS director Stefano Ponte and key contributors Jennifer Bair, Liam Campling and Florence Palpacuer gave a brief presentation of the Handbook, followed by a panel discussion on governance and upgrading in global value chains, inequality and development.
About the book:
Global value chains (GVCs) are a key feature of the global economy in the 21st century. They show how international investment and trade create cross-border production networks that link countries, firms and workers around the globe. This Handbook describes how GVCs arise and vary across industries and countries, and how they have evolved over time in response to economic and political forces. With chapters written by leading interdisciplinary scholars, the Handbook unpacks the key concepts of GVC governance and upgrading, and explores policy implications for advanced and developing economies alike. |
